A Pleasant Event.

Last evening Mr.. Anton Reymann cele-
brated the fftieth anniversary of his birth
in a most pleasant manner at his residence
on Fifteenth street. There were but few
present outside the members Of his family
aud relatives, but the evening was . most
delightful one. The Opera House orches-
ira was present and discoursed its finest
music at frequent intervals during the
eyening, and o splendid collation. was
served at a proper time, to which all pres
eat did ample justice. At the conclusion
OF the repast an address was made by Col.
Jacob Kemple, congratulating the gentle
man upon having attained to half a CEN
tury of honorable years, Mr.. Reymann
making a fitting reply. At the conclu-
sion of these addresses, MI. Louis Gaus
made an address in German, on behalf OF
the hand, which was also replied to,
Those present separated about midnight,
with many expressions OF esteem for Mr..
Reymanu, in which the public at large
will heartily join.

gagement.
This evening Miss Margaret Mather will
open her engagement of two nights and a
maii4ee, appearing in her initial perform
apce 10 the ~weliknoUp play of Leah, the
Forsaksn.n Miss Mather SSs born in De-
troit, Mich, October q, 1852, of Scotch
Euglish pareutsge. Her early surround
iugs were not in any way calculated to d.
rect her attention to the stage, and in this
point her history diher9 iran the great
majority OF artists who have won a CON-
m~aDding place in the profession while
Young in years. The most salient points
in Miss Mather's character, when consider
ing it previous to her definite entry into
the .sS,C cf the sock and buskin, were q
loVe for study, Hn Gn-;yFis Gt the knowl-
edge gained, and d subsequent sener-
alizItiUn. She was especially Studious
in ancient history, aud is to-day one of
the best-read ladies in the land on this
point. Miss Mather's choice of her pro.
tsssion was not the result of an unreasou-
ing admiration of its glitter and spangles,
or the desirs which is at the root of nine
tenths OF theatrical 6eouts, . morbid love
of cOnspicuOusness, but was that OF u calm
and exhaustive analysis of herself and her
capabilities. Perfectly in keeping with
her character was her course after she had
chosen heT profession. Che was especially
attracted by the character of Shakespeare's
Juliet and, having decided upon that
role, spent two years in its study before
making her debut at McVicker's
theatre, at Chicago, on August Is,
1882. In a word, Miss Mather
did not practice before the pub
lie, to whom she made no appeal until
fully ready to perform. That she was sue
cessful at once, is the most convincing
proof in favor of her conception Of the
character of the gentle Juliet" What
other actre sses have learned through tears
and sorrowful experience, Miss Mather sp-
pears to have attained by intense study
and a careful consideration of causes and
effect, viz /: the perfect consistency of in,
consistency in the outward demonstrations
made by a person laboEing under the infu-
ence Of strong emotion. The Juliet of
Miss Mather, at her debut, was essentially
the Juliet" Of her performances now,
which are the gamer simply by experience
in the mechanical portion of its portrayal.
1t msy seem singular that in the wholly
unlovable role OF Lady Mac eth" Miss
Mather is as much at home az in that of
Juliet" yet students of human nature
know that but g RoSsamer wall divides
Love and Hate. The same keen analytic
instinct that enabled her TO see the points
that lie at the basis of outward manifesto
tons of innocence and love, did n t fail
her in determining those that govern the
demonstration Of the baser emotions. Mr..
]. NJ. Hill, her manager, had an abiding
faith in Miss Mather's ability, and has
provided her with an efficient support and
every accessory that can anywise enhance
the effect Of the performances.

Work is being vigorously prosecuted on
the New Cumberland railroad twenty-four
hours a day, and seven days in the week,
although there is a great deal to be done
vet. There is a small sized town at Hook
er's, made up of shanties, tents, stables.
Down along the river the Italians live in
bark houses, under rocks, in sod houses,
and in every conceivable way. They call
a cluster of these houses Italy, n danother
place where a lot of Irish are encamped,
they call Ireland. The crew at Hooker's
was reinforced last week by eight add

THE PETITION.
To the Bard Of Education Of the City O.
Wheeling:

To the Bard Of Education Of the City Of
Wheeling:
GESTLEMEN:-We, the undersigned cit
liens Of the Eighth ward, respectfully pc
tition your honorable body not to confirm
the appointment Of Miss Greenlea as a
teacher in our schools. Believing the re-
ports that are in circulation in our part of
the city derogatory to her character to be
true, we think her usefulness as a teacher
Is DESTROYED.
This bore the signatures of a number of
Eighth ward citizens, most of whom were
ladies, and after the petition had been
read DR.. Pipes unrolled a counter petition,
some few yards in length, which he was
about to present to the Board, but that
was not accomplished.
Ey this time everybody Vas pretty well
worked up aud the buzz of voices in the
lobby
INDICATED EXCITEMENT.
The members seemed to have lost their
ideas for the moment and they could see
the whole scene experienced at former
meetings being repeated before their eyes,
and there was indeed every prospect that
it would be, and in an intensified manner,
if something were not done to prevent it.
With this idea in mind Mr.. Dobbins arose
and called for the previous question. The
ayes and noes were called for, with the
following result:
Aye-Messrs. Dickey, Dobbins, Ebeling,
Harrell, Miller, Nsylor, Shafer, Whally,
Work and Mr.. P~resident-10.
Eoes-MesSrs. Acker, Hannah, Isett,
Jepson, List, Mccoy, Waterhouse, White
g.
Then the question of the confirmation
of Miss G~reenleaiwas put and she was con-
irmed by the same vote. The storm then
broke. The ladies in the auditorium began
to talk in an excited manner, declaring it
was an outrage, and they swayOd to and
fro In their excitement A motion was
made to adjourn and it carried, but an
important matter having been overlooked,
the Board was called together again. Sew
eral Of the members refused to stay, and
DR.. Mccoy started to leave the room,
saying that the action Of the Board was an
OUTRAGE UPON THE COMMUNITY.
He got no further than the door, how
ever, when he was stopped by the excited
lobbyists, who asked him if something
could not be done to revoke the action of
the Board, and the noise made was 90 great
that the President was compelled to rap for
order q number Of times before the bust
ness could be proceeded with. When the
Board finally adjourned the members were

Monkeys Opening OYSTERS.

So many people have expressed their
surprise at hearing that / constantly saw
monkeys breaking open oysters with a
stone on the island of South Burmah,
that il may be Of interest TO give a short
description Of their method of using such
a tool. The low water rocks of the islands
of the Mergui archipelago are covered
with oysters, large and small. A mon
key. probably macaeus cynomolgus,
which infests these islands, prowls about
the shore when the tide is low, opening
the rock oysteI with a stone, by striking
the base Of the upper valves until it dis
locates and breaks up. He then extracts
the oyster with his finger and thumb, oc-
casionally putting his mouth straight to
the broken shell. On disturbing them I
generally found that they had selected a
stone more apparently for convenience in
handling than for its value as a hammer,
and il was smaller in proportion TO what
a human being would have selected for a
proportionate amount Of work. In short,
it was usuallya stone they could get their
fingers round.
As the rocks crop up through the low
water mud. the stone had 20 he brought
from high water mark. this distance
varying from ten 10 eighty yards. This
monkey has chosen the easiest way TO
open the rock oyster, viz, to d~islocatc
the valves by a blow on tho base of the
upper one, and TO break the shell over
the attaching muscle. The gibbon also
frequents these islands, but I never saw
one Of them on the beach.-Commander

Integrity Of the Pennsylvania Dutch.

The customs and manner of the Penn
sylvania Dutch may be best and most
briefly described as the never ending ac-
tual expression of honesty and good will
TO all men. This in itself means rugged
simplicity, which we Of q more refined
and less s~crupulous motive condescend-
ingly esteem as ''queerness" and ''quaint-
ness" Integrity, which logically CON-
pels ~plainness; industry, which never fails
of reward; simplicity Of thought and
habit, which prolongs life; generosity,
which returns the noblest cheer; purity,
which yields positive physical and mental
benedictions, blended in a good and con-
tented whole, make the motive, means
and ultimate of the lives Of these people.
Unceasing and sure their labor, certain
and constant its reward. and they seem
among the only men of earth absolutely
born without love of, and with perennial
contempt for, pomp and show. They
live honest lives, clothe the naked, feed
the hungry and succor the unfortunate
for the simple sake of right doing.
Along these lines il is thus rot strange
that their plainness Of dress is natural,
and all apparent eccentricities of this
sort are true, rather than untrue, to
right living. Equally the seemingly
strange custom TO us of seldom, il ever,
~resorting to law, and even refusing to
defend unjust legal attack, is logical
ethical correctness of life as taught by
the Perfect One. The bond and mort
gage are almost unknown among them,
for these have no place aMong rnen
whose very lives are staked on their
simple word. And they had best be; for
while M neighbor can ask and get Of
another any sum Of money into the thou
sands at any time, to he returned, almost
invariably without interest, at any date
named, the day and the very hour
must see that money returned, OF the
borrower is forever in disgrace among
his people. No after reparation can yield
reinforcement. This, too, is a true Sc
quence Of an integrity which must be
as unfalteringly just as unhesitatingly
